Question / Help Could not get DXGI adapter

[morangotango]

Whenever I try to preview stream or start broadcasting I get this error.
I can stream using NVIDIA's Shadowplay. I have ran dxdiag, but no errors were found.
I tried to reinstall latest video driver, but still got the same error.
This started happening after I switched from the Intel HD Graphics to the actual GPU.

Usually means you need to update directx (this link) or your drivers. Or possibly update windows as well.

Jim, I updated directx with your link and restarted my computer. Made sure windows and drivers were updated.
I was able to fix it by doing a clean reinstall.
However, now I have a connection problem, with Error 11001 while trying to stream to Twitch.tv. This is the first time it is happening. I have not changed my firewall settings or anything, and I could stream until I got the latest update (ver. 0.624b).

That error is usually caused by Comodo or a broken ISP DNS server.

Oh.. I do use Comodo. Any workarounds? I don't really want to stop using it. I have, though, added OBS to the allowed applications. I did remove their DNS from the settings, but nothing changed.

If you use Comodo and get a DNS error with the latest version of OBS, add an exclusion for the OBS folder and disable auto-sandbox. Disabling Comodo won't help. If you need help to add an exlusion look here: http://imgur.com/a/CvLQl

But really, ditch Comodo. It's not very good, and horribly invasive.

 

[morangotango]

I only use Comodo for the firewall. For antivirus I have NOD32.
However, you were right about the auto-sandbox. That was the problem.
I added a rule so that OBS would excluded and it's now working fine.

Thank you for your help.
